Index polynomials for virtual tangles
by
Nicolas Petit
Oxford College of Emory University

The Henrich-Turaev polynomial is an index polynomial, and one of the simplest examples of Vassiliev invariants of order one for virtual knots.

We will discuss various generalizations of this polynomial to the case of virtual tangles; these generalizations also happen to be Vassiliev invariants of virtual tangles.
